TEMP FILE ERROR ON XP SYSTEMS...

The Windows architecture and network protocols cause can’t create temp files. Part of it is that the path to the default TEMP and TMP locations have been made user dependent and the path can be quite convoluted.

There is a fairly easy solution to the problem, part of which is explained below.

Basically, you can eliminate the problem by localizing each user's temp files. The following instructions are for XP (and might work on Win2K) machines:

These changes can be made on each user machine, or can probably be done with "set" statements in the batch file that starts SunType. This describes how it works on the workstations:

Right-click on My Computer
Choose Properties
Choose Advanced
Open Environment Variables
Remove any values for TEMP and TMP in the User Variables section
In the System Variables section, if TEMP and TMP exist, change their value to C:\Windows\Temp. If they don't, add them.
Add a new variable called CLATMP and set the value to %TEMP%
Save the changes.

This process removes the network and local path issues from the temporary files problem by letting each local workstation manage it's own files. It also speeds up the program operation -- sometimes noticeably -- by removing the file ops related to temp files from the server.
